A minor is strongly recommended: Students may elect to minor in one of the 4 Ethnic
Studies areas: African American Studies, Asian American Studies, Mexican American
Studies, Native American Studies (housed in Anthropology). Please see an advisor in
those departments and programs for minor advising and double counting of major and
minor courses.

Some classes “double count” in GE or SJSU Studies as well as in the Sociology major.
Note: Soci 162 and AAS 185 in SJSU Studies Area S, as well as the major. However,
the units for the class only count once. You should keep track of the cumulative
number of units you have earned. Check your transcript on MYSJSU.
